Hoot is proud to present the Triple Bill Tour in Huddersfield. Escape the xmas crowds to enjoy some live jazz and peruse a huge collection of records at Vinyl Tap.

THE BRASS MONKEYS:
The improvising brass band from Norwich with a line-up of two trumpets, two saxophones, two trombones, tuba and drums. They play original pieces by Ben Higham and Chris Dowding, and more obscure pieces from the jazz repertoire, including pieces by the trumpeter Lester Bowie and South African trombonist Jonas Gwangwa.

This results in a joyful, free-flowing sound, with strong soloists, trombonist Dave Amis, saxophonist Simon Youngman and trumpeter Chris Dowding, alongside, energised and supported by Ben Higham’s muscular and energetic tuba playing.

ARTHUR:
A radical jazz trio of saxophone (Simon Youngman), tuba (Ben Higham) and drums (Geoff Charlton). Originally inspired by the saxophonist Arthur Blythe's trio of the same line-up, they now play pieces by Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols, alongside original pieces and improvisations.

Expect fiery improvisations, fast swinging tempos, delicate percussion, virtuosic saxophone solos and free jazz tuba…

SOME THINGS:
The “arresting trumpet duo” of Chris Dowding and Ben Higham. They use original and other material as a basis for improvisation. Their performances include interlocking horn solos, tight unison patterns and free improvisations…

They have performed at Beyond our Kennel (the poet John Hegley's night in London), at the Vortex Downstairs, and at various venues around Norfolk.
